What happens during the freeze drying process?

1.

Fresh fruit is allowed to ripen until it reaches peak – allowing it to produce the maximum possible nutrients.

2.

The fruit is then cleaned, sliced or chopped, and frozen for at least 24-hours.

3.

Frozen fruit is placed in the freeze drying chamber, where the frozen water is removed under a vacuum – taking the water from ice directly to gas (called sublimation). The gas is removed and allowed to condense elsewhere.

4.

The fruit is packed in sealed, moisture and oxygen-proof packaging to ensure freshness.

Freeze drying involves no heating, no chemicals, and no preservatives. The resulting product contains all the nutrients of fresh fruit in a light and intensely flavored crisp.

This gentle process locks in all the nutrition of the fresh fruit and intensifies the natural flavor.
